Lights will guide you home....

One of my childhood friends wrote about a song she felt was special. She thought the post was blah but I strongly disagree.

For instance listen to this one.

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try....fix you.
- Coldplay

I'm sure this song needs no introduction. When it plays, my heart is at peace. Goosebumps all over.

I feel there is a higher power out there. I'm not sure how to define it exactly. But when you listen to this song, close your eyes now, and just feel. Then it is like someone is saying to you, I'm here for you. Someone, something, far more powerful than we can imagine any human being. It will make you shiver. It will bring you comfort. It says listen to me follow the lights (not in LOTR way). They will bring you home. Perhaps it is what people describe dying is like. Lots of light. We all need lights in our lives. Dispel the darkness. Keep us sane. Deliver us from our worries.

Yesterday I had one of those wonderful things called heart to hearts with my best friend from school. At the end, she said very wisely (BTW she has been wise since we were in 7th grade), that yes we would do well to make friends with life, instead of fighting it. If we fight it, it makes things more difficult. We were speaking in the context of how to successfully do the backstroke while swimming. Somehow it made sense that this principle applies to life too. Strange eh?

Look for the lights good people. In your life, in your hearts, in your path.
